May 2017 Jalalabad attack

The May 2017 Jalalabad attack occurred on 17 May 2017 when four Islamic State militants attacked an Afghan state television building in Jalalabad, killing at least six people (four RTA workers and two policemen). Two suicide bombers on motorbikes blew themselves up 90 feet from the building, and the other two attackers shot up the compound before battling security forces for hours. The surviving two attackers were either killed or blew themselves up, and the attack came to a bloody end. The attack was claimed by IS, which operated from its nearby stronghold on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
